A poem from age 9: The Time Has Come

The Time Has Come

The time has come,
The hour is here,
The presents are present,
There's nothing to fear.

The cake is just burning,
The tree's on it's way down,
We kids are just yearning
For the cake burnt so brown.

Santa was coming
When we heard a "thud"
On the roof.
We stood just one minute
And suddenly, POOF!

A man in a suit
Red with glee,
Said, "I fell through your roof,
As you can see!"

We stood just one minute,
Stood in pure silence.
Then we pounced for the bag,
A Christmas of violence!

I got my teddy bear,
Joe got his notepad.
Poor Santa got nothing'
I guess he'd been bad.

We are all happy,
No one's aloof,
The thing that still haunts us
Is snow coming through the roof!
